A Little Neuroscience – Bear With Me
Like the apps on our cell phones, our brains are always running in the background. Even in our sleep, our brains are noticing and managing what’s happening inside and around us – and making sense of it. Thank goodness for our brains -- on duty in the middle of the night, waking us up when necessary. But our brains don’t control us. We can use our conscious willpower to override our brain’s signals. For example, I see fresh baked cookies. My brain sends signals for my mouth to start watering in preparation for those cookies. I’m ready! But, my conscious mind says “No”. And I walk away – mouth still watering; but I feel good about my decision. My point is that our brains help to guide our conscious thoughts and behavior. But what I haven’t said is that sometimes our brains resurrect negative thoughts that don’t necessarily help us through our current situations. Negative memories can get in the way of healthy problem-solving. The good news is, with our willpower, we can increase the amount of time that we are in control of our thoughts and behavior. Here are some tips to help override your brain’s automatic negative thinking. In time, you’ll likely take more control of your thinking and live more positively more often. With Others
Your Thinking
Your Relationship with Self
